LUcKLEsS CHAMBERLAIN.
Halifax Officials Stirred Up by the
st. John Telegraph.
Slender Ties Which a British Com
missioner Might Break.
The Toronto Globe Declares 1t Is
Either Withdrawal or War.

HALIFAX, N. s., Nov. 2.-The St. John
Telegraph publishes an article which has
caused great stir among the officials at
Halifax. The article refers to Mr.. Cham
berlain, commercial union and the coming
fisheries convention, and says: ''Mr. Cham
berlain says that commercial union, if
adopted, must lead to the separation of
Canada from Great Britain He admits that
Canada can have commercial union if she
desires it, so far as any opposition from
Great Britain is concerned. He admits that
the present bond of union is "a slender tie,'
and so it is. But what requires so little as
tuteness to discover, Mr. Chamberlain ap
pears not to see. And that is that he has
nlmself furnished most powerful argument
Tor the separation against which he warns
u.s.. The fisheries question concerns Canada
and the republic greatly, England but little.
Mr.. Chamberlain has shown us that Brit
ish commissioner who knows. and of neces-
sity cares less about it than we Canadians. is
very ready to PREJUDICE the case, and, we
think, quite to our detriment. What Is SO
natural under the circumstances as for Can
adams to feel that 1t would be better for
Canadian and United States commissioners
to settle the question by themselves without
British interference? We do not say that
such feeling has been prevalent, but we do
say tnat IL is growing, and tnat Mr.. Cham
berlain's indiscreet and needless utteranees
tend powerfully to develop it. In face OF the
fact that all the countries OF North and
South America. except Canada, were little
more than hundred years ago ruled from
Europe and are now independent how much
longer will the slender tie which binds
Canada to the old world stand the strain
which Mr.. Chamberlain has put upon it?
He has set Canadians thinking as they
never thought before ON the question of the
natural development Of colonies into
nations"

The Globe Wakes Eloquent.

TORONTO, Nov. 2.-The Globe, this morn
ing, reiterates its demand that Chamberlain
be recalled and says that there is no fought"
or should" in the case, ''it is must" "The
British should understand their own inter-
ests are hugely at stake on the impending
negotiations. Should the commissioners fail
to reach settlement, or the Senate to make
an agreement, nothing is more certain than
that war between Great Britain and the
United States could be avoided only by
Great Britain abandoning Canada in a way
to forever disgrace the British name"
The Globe further says that should the
negotiation fail, the President must enforce
the retaliatory act. If so, war with Great
Britain, long feared more than any other
possible war, would probably occur. Only
one way exists to avoid the disgrace and
danger Of Chamberlain's insults to that class
OF American citizens whose loyalty was
proven true by the most terrible Of tests.
when hundreds and thousands of the sons Of
Irish mothers faced death in battle for the
republic. These insults are the sole cause of
the present embarrassment. Better he should
get his deserts than that the peace of hun
dreds OF millions of English-speaking people
should be jeopardized on behalf Of his dig

her mother sail one day. my poor

very kind to the pauper children Of the

tressed if she happened to be unable
to render service. This goodwill
toward everybody made her the idol of

An Easy Cure for Sleeplessness

l had frequently noticed that when
ngaged in deep thought, particularly
at night, there seemed to be something
like compression of the eyelids, the
upper one, especially, and the eyes
themselves were apparently turned up
wards, as if looking in that direction.
This invaribly occurred, and the mo-
ment that. by an effort, 1 arrested the
course of thought. and freed the mind
from the subject with which it was en-
gagged, the eyes resumed their natural
position and the compression of the
lids ceased. Now, it occurred to me
one night that / would not allow the
ewes to turn upwards, but keep them
determinedly in the opposite position,
as if looking down; and having done
so for time, 1 found that the mind
did not revert to the thoughts with
which it had been occupied, and l soon
fell asleep. l tried the plan again
with the same result; and after an ex-
perince of two wears, l can truly saw
that unless when something especially
annoying or worrsing occurred. have
always been able to go to sleep very
shortly after retiring to rest. There
may occasionally be some difficulty in
keeping the eyes in the position | have
described; but a determined effort to do
so is all that is required, and l am cer-
tain that if kept in the down-looking
position. IT will be found that compos-
ure and sleep viii be the result
